Hit the Silk!, the wildly popular game of bluffing, negotiation and high-stakes treachery, is preparing to launch a 2nd Edition. This isn’t just a reprint – it’s a refined and enhanced version of the fan-favourite title, designed to make your in-flight antics even more thrilling.
A Social Showstopper
For anyone new to the series, Hit the Silk! is a semi-cooperative party game full of suspense, bluffing and double-crosses. Players are a group of scheming sky-pirates aboard a doomed plane. To survive, you’ll need to work with others to grab parachutes, negotiate trades and manage limited oxygen – but ultimately, only some of you can make it out alive.
The game became a breakout hit thanks, in part, to its hilarious feature on No Rolls Barred, where its mix of social deduction and back-stabbing produced some truly unforgettable moments. That exposure pushed the previous print run to sell out, leaving fans clamouring for more.
What’s New in the 2nd Edition?
Responding to community feedback, the designers have sharpened the experience with several key upgrades:
- Adjusted Card Distribution – games won’t wrap up too quickly anymore. You’ll have more time to plot and execute those dastardly plans.
- More Thrill in Trading – expect rougher rides and sharper twists.
- Additional Game Content – elements from the “Extra Cargo” expansion are folded into this edition.
- Faster Learning, Clearer Rulebook – the updated guide makes jumping in smoother than ever.
Kickstarter Flight Plan
Because of the huge demand, the next print run is being prepared with a Kickstarter campaign. Community backing is vital to push the game back into production quickly and to ensure these enhancements become reality.
